I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

Considering that is a selling point of Xandros, I figured I would check it out.
but yes, I have Openoffice.org installed and I did move my text document between MS office, OOo and I even purchased Sun Office 7 and installed that (which I run instead of MS office mostly) however my work requires me to be 100% compatable, so being able to tell my boss, "I'm running microsoft Office" was a perk.
And I did try Xchat and BitchX, however I couldn't get things quite right like getting them to run through X and not in the Console window, Besides, I heard mIRC worked so I tried it, I'm not a big IRC guy, I was just checking.
